Brooks tallied three catches (on six targets) for 51 yards and 10 kick returns for 254 yards in five regular-season appearances in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

With all of Marvin Harrison (foot), Greg Dortch (chest) and Zay Jones (Achilles) being placed on injured reserve in the second half of the campaign, Brooks received regular run over the final five games but didn't do much with the increased workload as WR Michael Wilson and TE Trey McBride dominated the attention of QB Jacoby Brissett. Brooks is one of seven wide receivers under contract with the Cardinals in 2026, so he at least should be in the mix for reps along with Xavier Weaver behind Harrison and Wilson, barring other additions at the position this offseason.

Brooks wasn't targeted during Sunday's 37-14 defeat in Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks has garnered offensive snaps in four straight games for the Cardinals, but his shares have ranged from five to 71 percent on a weekly basis. He rang in at 30 percent Sunday behind Michael Wilson (86 percent), Xavier Weaver (67 percent) and Marvin Harrison (33 percent). Because Harrison's status for the regular-season finale at the Rams is up in the air after emerging from Week 17 with a foot injury, Brooks could be poised for more snaps this weekend, but his output so far in Arizona (3-51-0 on six targets) isn't appealing for fantasy purposes.

Brooks went without a target while playing three of the Cardinals' 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons. He returned two kickoffs for 56 yards on special teams.

EDGE Analysis

After drawing three targets in both of the Cardinals' previous two contests, Brooks saw his role on offense diminish while Arizona welcomed Marvin Harrison back from a heel injury. Unless Arizona is missing one of Harrison, Michael Wilson or Xavier Weaver for one of its final two games of the season, Brooks doesn't look as though he'll be in line for many snaps on offense.

The Cardinals signed Brooks to the active roster Tuesday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks had one more practice squad elevation before he needed to be signed to the active roster, but the Cardinals chose to ink a deal before that was necessary. The receiver played 47 offensive snaps in Week 15, accumulating one catch for 19 yards on three targets. He also racked up 132 yards in five kick returns. Brooks was likely deemed valuable enough to sign due to the persistent injuries to fellow receivers Marvin Harrison (heel), Xavier Weaver (hamstring), and Andre Baccellia (neck).

Brooks reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks played 47 snaps on offense during the Cardinals' 40-20 loss to the Texans, which was second most among Arizona's wide receivers. He finished with one catch (on three targets) for 19 yards and contributed on special teams with five kick returns for 132 yards. Brooks is eligible to be called up from the practice squad once more this season, which could happen for Week 16 against the Falcons, as the Cardinals are dealing with injuries to Marvin Harrison (heel), Xavier Weaver (hamstring) and Andy Baccellia (neck).

Brooks caught one of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans. He also returned five kickoffs for 132 yards.

EDGE Analysis

The South Carolina product was elevated to the Cardinals' active roster and played a season-high 44 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss. In two games with Arizona, Brooks has caught three of six targets for 51 yards while tallying 198 kickoff-return yards. If Marvin Harrison (heel) is sidelined again in the Week 16 matchup against the Falcons, Brooks could return to the active roster.

The Cardinals elevated Brooks from the practice squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This is the second straight practice-squad elevation for Brooks. The 25-year-old logged two catches (on three targets) for 32 yards to go along with three kickoff returns for 66 yards in the Week 14 loss to the Rams. With Greg Dortch (chest) on IR and both Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) ruled out again, Brooks will once again serve as the Cardinals' No. 4 wideout versus Houston on Sunday.

Brooks reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the league's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was elevated to the Cardinals' active roster for Sunday's game against the Rams, and he finished with two catches (on three targets) for 32 yards and returned three kickoffs for 66 yards. With Greg Dortch (chest) on injured reserve and both Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) dealing with injuries, Brooks could be elevated from the practice squad for this Sunday's road tilt against the Texans.

The Cardinals elevated Brooks from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The absence of wide receivers Marvin Harrison (heel), Greg Dortch (chest) and potentially Xavier Weaver (hamstring) give Brooks a huge opportunity in Sunday's contest. The 2023 seventh-rounder was elevated alongside Trent Sherfield to be a starting wide receiver for quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Brooks has received zero targets with only four offensive snaps played this year, but he ended the 2024 season with 12 receptions for 177 yards and a touchdown on 30 targets.

The Cardinals signed Brooks (knee) to their practice squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks spent the early part of the season with Dallas and got into the Cowboys' Week 5 win against the Jets as a practice-squad elevation, logging four offensive snaps and 17 special-teams snaps without getting any targets. However, Brooks landed on the practice-squad injured list due to a knee injury Oct. 22 before being cut with an injury settlement two days later. It appears he's past the knee issue given his new deal with Arizona, and Brooks will now try to work his way up to game action, though the Cardinals' wideout corps is currently fully healthy.
